COLOGNE, Germany: Digital dental procedures are increasingly becoming an essential part of the daily routine in the modern dental practice. They render patient management and treatment planning processes more economical and increase time efficiency. At the upcoming International Dental Show (IDS), digital technologies will thus form a core subject, with many exhibitors presenting their latest product solutions in the field.
At IDS 2015, the digital technology offerings available for dental practices will form a focal point for all visitors in the fields of dentistry and dental technology. The product ranges to be exhibited contribute to simplifying workflows and, as a result, to reducing treatment times. They create synergies with the digital range for dental laboratories, yielding positive implications for practice management and therapeutic procedures. That is why the state of the art in digital technology for dental practices will be a major topic at IDS 2015, said Dr Martin Rickert, Chairman of the Association of German Dental Manufacturers.
Products presented will include software for efficient patient management and integrated treatment planning, as well as digital imaging devices, including CBCT and CT, which have been used alongside conventional radiographic techniques in recent years.
IDS 2015 will also give special attention to digital scanners, which offer a wide range of advantages for patient-specific restorations and implant planning. In particular, intra-oral scanners will be in the spotlight, as they have contributed significantly to making prosthetic treatment workflows simplifier and more precise.
Overall, both patients and dentists benefit from the use of digital technologies. They help shorten treatment time and reduce the number of work stages, and enable the dentist to immediately examine and explain preparations on screen. Furthermore, the data gained through digital procedures can be quickly processed in the dental practice and sent to dental laboratories .
The 36th IDS will take place from 10 to 14 March 2015 in Cologne. According to the latest figures provided by IDS organiser Koelnmesse, 1,400 exhibitors from 46 countries have already confirmed their participation.
